The other day I made some of my Sunshine Dandelion jelly. Yum! First canning of the season. Have you started canning anything yet?

Nicole, yummy, yummy looking! I haven't canned anything, but the garden is growing and I'll surely be stocking the freezer. Marly

Yes, please share the recipe. I've dry canned all kinds of pastas and about 20# of ground beef.

Thanks, girls! A few years back I posted a how-to and recipe on the Suburban Farmgirl blog here: http://www.farmgirlbloggers.com/1197#more-1197
It's one of my favorite jellies. It tastes a bit like marmalade with honey. Love it on crackers with a slice of cheddar. I think strawberry jam is next.
Shannon, how do you make your syrup?

Thanks Nicole. I've copied it. Like what you said "when life gives you weeds make Sunshine Jelly".

Nicole, I have never tried dandelion jelly, and yours looks beautiful! I made bread and butter pickles over the weekend down here in Florida.

Nicole: your jelly looks wonderful! We had frost last night. I doubt if I'll be ready to can for awhile yet.

Nicole that jelly looks lovely. We will be bottling dandelion wine on Sunday night. I never realized how much can be made from dandelions before. There are so many recipes and ideas. I'm always such a reluctant canner. Once I'm in the thick of it, I enjoy it, but thinking about the process and the mess before hand always makes it so daunting. I'm getting better though each year.
